    Extracting a number from a string

    Hi,

    Can anyone help me in extracting a number from a string.

    Here are the possible strings

    abc123 -

    24 tractor-

    cell no-467

    Hno 456, royal streel


    Is it possible to only extract the numbers from an irregular string. Max number of characters per string can be around 20.

    Thanks in advance...
